Harding is the first Northwood player to qualify for the NCAA Championships since Jamie Long did so in 2004, and her third-place finish is the best at regionals in program history, besting Long's fifth-place finish in 2005.

The NCAA Championships will be held in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., May 14-18.
